Abstract: Global competence has gained considerable attention in education within a diverse and globalized world. Drawing from the OECD PISA 2018 framework for students’ global citizenship, we employ hierarchical linear modelling to examine the effects of individual attributes, family background, and school characteristics on students’ global competence in six countries/regions. The results reveal that gender, student self-efficacy in global issues, familial socioeconomic status, and teachers’ intercultural attitudes significantly influence students’ global competence in all six areas. Moreover, region-specific differences were found. The study provides valuable insights for advancing research, furthering the conceptualization and implementation of education for global competence.
